Book Cover Wars : Sun Nov 13, 2011 8:43 pm  

http://mrripleysenchantedbooks.blogspot ... eat-4.html Its that time of year when I ask you: DO please judge a book by its cover! My third Wereworld novel, "Shadow Of The Hawk", has been selected for the Book Cover Wars. If any of you have a mo to spare, do please call by there to cast your vote. By all means please vote for the cover you like most, but if that happens to be mine I'd be most indebted. The jacket art is by fab artist Andrew Farley, who has illustrated the whole series and never gets enough credit for his splendid work. Cheers guys and gals! @curtisjobling

Hate to quiz you over your career and so on, but, for the sake of clarity, did you draw/design everybody from Bob the Builder, or just Bob, or what?

Sorry for the drift.

Designed everything from scratch, all production design for first 5 years or so, then as time went on I just designed the specials and any new characters (human or machine) that came into the show. Did about 10yrs in all on Bob.

Voted (for the right one this year!) we need more votes, the lovely Mr. Jobling has slipped to second place and he's the nearest thing we have to a celebrity.

Oh, I'll take that Last year saw a runaway success in the final from Darren Shan as he overnight secured hundreds of votes from the US, where he'd just returned from a book tour.

And yep, thought you'd appreciated the Avian-related cover this time Sandra
